2022 Toyota Corolla Icon HEV CVT 1.8L Hybrid electric · FE71 URM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 55,286 miles resulted in a failure due to a compromised nearside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords. While the vehicle passed immediately after this rectification, the persistent illumination of the TPMS light during that test suggests an unresolved sensor issue or pressure imbalance that was not fully addressed during the retest process. At 55,286 miles over four years, this Corolla has averaged approximately 13,800 miles per annum. This sits above the UK national average for a petrol vehicle, suggesting consistent motorway use which accelerates the wear on consumable components. The interval between the December 2024 test at 42,345 miles and the December 2025 test shows a steady accumulation of nearly 13,000 miles in a year. This usage pattern typically places higher demands on the hybrid drivetrain components, brake assemblies, and suspension bushings. A buyer should specifically inspect the TPMS system to determine if the fault is a simple sensor failure or a more complex electronic malfunction. Given the high annual mileage, a physical check of the brake pad thickness and disc condition is necessary, as high-frequency driving can lead to uneven wear. The 2024 failure for a defective wiper blade is a minor maintenance oversight, but the recent tyre failure indicates that the owner may only address safety-critical items when they fail inspection. Inspection of the suspension for play in the bushes is recommended to ensure the high mileage has not prematurely degraded the rubber components.
